[Other Sport] Rugby (Union) World Cup Official Thread

But that was for number of fouls then in the last five they did two more. Each has to be a bin. You can’t reset like that. One of them was an obvious stopping of try so could have been given as a pen try. Wales got away with one today.

Pulling down a maul going towards the try line is always a yellow card. Things like the Bigger incident should be but they're not. I'd argue not even yellow carding a player who pulled someone up who was holding their head and went off for an HIA but pretty leniant

Uruguayan number 5 is huge

Is that Yellow going to be upgraded?

Should have been, but....

The pitch here and at the other football grounds are not great. Lille’s has been relaid by the looks of it

 

[Icy Gull]

I thought the disallowed try for crossing was very harsh

I have quite a good understanding of the laws but as things keep changing I do sometimes get a little non plussed.

Edit having just seen a replay, it’s a fair cop Guv!

What a cracking conversion for Uruguay!

The Lille playing surface is a joke.

Did I hear right. This pitch is laid on top of the football pitch?

That's right. Madness.

Just how good have the All Blacks been tonight?? Phenomenal performance, in full flow like this nobody else can play with such style and quality.

I called 85 points to NZ before a ball was kicked, could be close

Which reminds me @The Brighton Bear any chance of an NSC WC competition once we get to to knockout stages?

Compared to France's grim struggle against Uruguay last night this has been a joy to watch.

Bit silly having one of your normal starting 15 sent off close to the end of the game when miles ahead

 

[Beach Hut]

Hope that Namibian player is OK, looked a horrendous injury

Uruguay are quite a bit stronger than Namibia though.

However, I guess it shows that France's second string is not as strong as NZ's second string

Fiji currently 12-8 up against the Aussies.

Thanks for the heads up. It's always entertaining watching Australia struggle.

Fiji are playing really well, fully deserved lead at this stage.

If they see it out, it would be their first win over the Aussies since 1954.

They've done it
